Hoss 2.0

Take a break from the rat race on Apache Trail.  Drive a short Jeep road to overlook the rugged country north of Tortilla Flat.  Wonder about the history of a guy named 'Hoss" and snag a couple geocaches if you are into that.  One geocache at the ends of both forks.
Mostly this is a way to spend 2-3 hours in beautiful country with nobody else around (usually).

​There is a plaque honoring Lenny "Hoss" Waite at the end of the right fork road.  We know nothing about the gentleman, but he is the reason we named the trail Hoss.

​There is a GPS - gpx track at the bottom of the page.

The road going in from Apache Trail is bumpy in most spots and a bit scratchy, as are most minor trails in this area.  High clearance is certainly required, and some vehicles will need 4WD on a couple hills.  Nice scenery along the way.

Unnamed mountain west of the road
Take the right fork to see the plaque.  It is just over the edge from a parking area at the end of the road.  There is a short cliff just ahead of the Jeep and it is at the base of that.  Beautiful area for a memorial.

There is a very rugged canyon here but I was unable to do it justice with a camera.  You will have to drive in to see it.

View from end of road
The left fork has views of a canyon that drains into Canyon Lake, but you cannot see the lake.  It ends at a high spot where you can look back at Apache Trail.
